I had the pleasure of interviewing Stefan Barth an ultra cycling athlete and Medical Fitness and Endurance Coach who has a passion for the sport of bike packing and  also enjoys testing himself in ultra cycling events.  Stefan has competed in 24hour cycling races, and has tested his limits in the gruelling 9 day ultra cycling  event - Race Around Germany,  where he was chasing the fastest known time record.

Stefan's passion for the sport has also led him to take longer bike packing tours as well - most recently the European Divide Trail.  he likes to mix up the sport and uses off road bike packing routes in particular as a way to keep things fresh and give him a break from only focusing on being competitive.

Something unique to Stefan is that he also works within the sector of the sport - coaching other cycling athletes.  In fact it was when Stefan was training for his own events that he realised this section of the sport was lacking in training guides and resources to help other people prepare.  So what did Stefan do? He compiled research, interviewed many other athletes and wrote a book titled Ultra Cycling and Bike Packing. Everything You Need to Know!  Through the power of crowd funding the book was recently translated and made available in English.
